An Artists Home Away From Home

Our home provides you a comfortable stay in a historic quiet neighborhood in downtown Juneau. We are close walking distance to Juneau’s core with cafes, restaurants and shopping. You might want to stroll the waterfront boardwalk along Gastineau Channel and see a big breaching whale fountain and plaza, cultural and art museums along the way. Cope Park is practically in our back yard, a jump off point leading to excellent hiking trails. Whoever you are, whatever your journey, we welcome you! The space By coded keyless entry, you will enter a comfortable, colorful, cheery basement space filled with art! The living area is warmed by an electric fireplace, comfy couch and library filled with books mostly about art, feel free to peruse the books! The wi-fi extender is also located in this area. There are two bedrooms to choose from, one with a queen size bed and one with a full sized bed. You may store your luggage in the room you are not using if there are only two of you. The kitchen has a refrigerator, range and microwave, coffee maker, toaster, egg maker and blender, cooking utensils and spices, dishes and flatware. A washer/dryer is also located here. The bathroom is stocked with towels and bath and toilet amenities. A first aid kit is also located in the medicine cabinet. Our home is a non-smoking, no-party, alcohol and drug-free home. We would appreciate if you refrain while here. A small working art studio is adjacent to the living room, and not used when we have airbnb guests. But please free to ask Pua about her artwork! There is a small outdoor seating area up the stairs that gets great morning sun, and good for having morning coffee. There is also an outdoor charcoal grill for your use if you wish. Just a note: depending on the weather, we may need to enter to adjust the heating valves (warmer or cooler) downstairs, but will always let you know first. Guest access Whether you are flying in or taking the ferry in, head south towards downtown Juneau. If you have a car, please park in front of the garage doors, right next to the concrete path. Walk along the little concrete path between the garage and the house and continue left until you see the stairs going down. There are about 8 stairs down to our Airbnb guest quarters.

Feel free to use this entire space, including the sitting room adjacent to the art studio. We generally like to meet and greet our guests and give a home tour; but in this time of covid, we are still taking precautions. Other things to note Our home was built in the 40’s (about 80 years old) in a historic neighborhood near a historic park. You may enjoy walking to Cope Park, a beautiful evergreen forest within 2 blocks. Gold Creek is a cold clear creek than can be followed to the old mining boardwalk (the flume) leading to the Mining Museum, Perseverance trail and Granite Basin beyond. Or, you may choose to walk along the waterfront and boardwalk to downtown Juneau starting at Overstreet Plaza with a breaching bronze whale fountain and totem poles carved by native carvers throughout the region. Or you can walk through the developing ‘arts district’ where the Alaska State Museum, Centennial Hall and Juneau Arts and Culture Center are located. You may want to walk across the bridge by 10th street to Douglas Island. . . you will find a sandy beach and the historic Treadwell mining trail there, as well as a library and world class Perseverance Theater, a performing arts venue.

He is also known locally as the "Tlingit Elvis"! And certainly, if you are interested in art, Pua can share her process with you. Registration Details CBJ1002762
